    Chapter 1 Arrival

    Thank you so much, @Ianstarlight, for your wonderful comment. Your description of Robbie is beautifully written and far better than mine. Moreover, it is remarkably accurate. If I had to choose half a dozen of my favourite comments from the thousands that have been posted on this story over the years, this would, undoubtedly, be one of them.
  2. Whatever happens, it's clear that Robbie has developed a special bond with Rory that he hasn't been able to find with Nathan. We already knew about Robbie's secret desires, but now he's starting to reveal more. For example, he was surprised by how much it hurt him to hear Rory sounding upset on the phone. Nathan is either oblivious to the situation or he doesn't care. His reaction to Robbie running out of money will be key.
  3. This must have been Don's plan all along, and Robbie was stupid enough to fall for it. There is some hope. A summer job may make Robbie less reliant on Don, and without Nathan around, he probably won't spend as much. Daniel knows he's being used but doesn't want to rock the boat.
  4. I doubt if Robbie ever checked his balance, although he would have known his funds were dwindling. This is precisely what Don wanted, and he'll no doubt abuse it to his advantage. Don's favourite weapon is money, and Sue will have to fight for every penny through the courts while he makes things as difficult as possible. Maybe Nathan will step up to the plate and offer to pay the next time they go out or need to take a cab somewhere. Robbie has every right to expect this; anything less will be a hammer blow to their relationship.
  5. Don is putting a lot of pressure on Daniel to divide the family. Daniel knows this, but he's trying to keep everyone happy, which will be impossible. Whatever role Rory ends up playing in Robbie's life, he will certainly be less of a financial burden than Nathan. If Robbie's prediction comes true, their relationship will end before Nathan can pay back some of his generosity.
  6. I just posted Chapter 172, so there is still a way to go. I will amend the message at the end of this chapter, which is obviously misleading. Thanks for making me aware of this.
  7. He brought it on himself. It was never going to work.
  8. Wow! Thank you. I've lost track of time with this story.

    Chapter 139 Bonding

    Robbie needs to be careful not to trust him.
  10. Especially when he calls in the middle of the night asking for money.
  11. Conner is a bit of a control freak. Robbie will need to stand up to him and be more assertive.
  12. It's very remote and Conner is quite controlling.
  13. It finally happened on the last Thursday of May. That was when the cash machine at the bank spat out my card with a message on the screen informing me there were insufficient funds in my account. Fifteen months shy of my eighteenth birthday, and the money that was supposed to see me through to my inheritance was gone. Admittedly, I squandered a lot, mostly on taxis, fast food, and useless gadgets. I also bought expensive gifts for Jamie and Amy and shitloads of bling for Nathan, but I blame
  14. Probably just a coincidence, but Jo is a valuable asset.
  15. He has a lot of people who want to help him. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
  16. Robbie's mental health has been deteriorating for a while now, and he has been exhibiting clear signs that people around him seem to have missed. Telling Nicola was probably the best thing he could have done. He knows she won't leave him alone now, so maybe this was a cry for help.
  17. Unfortunately not.
  18. Robbie is also convinced there is something seriously wrong, probably relating to his head injury.
  19. Welcome back! I missed your insightful comments, but your timing is perfect. Just when things are about to get interesting.
  20. Symmonds is a dangerous creep.
  21. Alex is a very complex character, caused mainly by a terrible childhood.
  22. We may hear more from Mitch.
  23. It's possible but unlikely.
  24. I can't believe you're almost up to date. Well done.
  25. He has a heart.
